A THY olive paste and Kashar cheese sandwich is built around bread, olive paste and Kashar cheese. The exact recipe can vary by supplier or menu, so additional ingredients should not be assumed from the sandwich name alone.
It may be offered on some Turkish Airlines flights, but it is not a guaranteed item on every route or cabin menu. Airline catering changes, so availability depends on the specific flight and current menu.
Spread a thin layer of olive paste over bread, add slices of Kashar cheese and close the sandwich. Use the paste sparingly at first, since its salty, concentrated flavor can overwhelm the cheese.
A THY olive paste and Kashar cheese sandwich tastes savory, salty and distinctly olive-forward, with a mild, creamy cheese note. If making one at home, add sliced tomato or cucumber to give the filling a fresher contrast.
Yes, you can warm a THY olive paste and Kashar cheese sandwich, and the Kashar will soften as it heats. Warm it briefly so the bread does not dry out; the sandwich may be served differently depending on the flight.
Refrigerate leftover THY olive paste and Kashar cheese sandwich in a covered container rather than leaving it at room temperature. The bread can turn soft as it sits against the olive paste, so it is best eaten fresh.
You can freeze a THY olive paste and Kashar cheese sandwich, but thawing may make the bread soggy and alter the cheese’s texture. For a better result, freeze the bread and filling separately and assemble the sandwich after thawing.
Kashar is a Turkish semi-hard cheese with a more pronounced, savory flavor than mild mozzarella. It softens when heated, but its firmer texture and distinctive taste make the THY olive paste and Kashar cheese sandwich different from a typical mozzarella sandwich.
Not necessarily. Olive paste is a broad term for crushed or ground olives, while French tapenade commonly includes capers and may include anchovies. The exact recipe of the olive paste in a THY olive paste and Kashar cheese sandwich can vary.
Fresh tomato, cucumber or a simple green salad pairs well with a THY olive paste and Kashar cheese sandwich. These lighter sides balance its salty, rich filling without adding another strong or salty flavor.

The THY olive paste and Kashar cheese sandwich is a Turkish airline-style sandwich made with bread, savoury olive paste and Kashar, a mild, semi-hard cheese. The olive spread brings a briny, slightly sharp taste, balanced by the cheese’s creamy, mellow flavour and the soft bite of the bread.
It works as a convenient light meal while travelling, or as a quick lunch with a simple salad. At 10.8 g of protein per 100 g, it offers more than a bread-only snack, though the bread also makes it a substantial source of carbohydrates. For a lighter pairing, choose fresh vegetables or fruit rather than another rich side.
